Always irritated me having to fly around the city to get in the landing pattern. I was always so excited to get there, then to see the city so close but yet so far away....lol
I guess y'all didn't get close enough to.Hoover Dam on the approach to 26Left, because I never saw it. Oh never mind, I see what they did! There's the shot of the airport at 3:00. So they had y'all fly past just south of the airport, pull a 180° turn & land from east. So y'all never had a chance to get close to it.
@POV Flight Videos in my 757-300 coming over from ATL back on Oct 13, I know for sure we would have flown by it. But it was night & I was the opposite side of the aircraft. So even if I had been sitting on the correct side, there's no guarantee that I would have seen it.
This flight was coming from LAX. Flights coming from the north and west typically make the approach shown in this video and don't fly over the dam like flights on approach from the east and south do.

Great views of my town from the West-to-East approach!
Thank you. So much. Such a perspective.

May have seen it from the other side of the plane but yeah it seemed like a shortened approach. I know we flew over on this flight last July though

at 12:06 you can see Wayne Newton's old place. I'll bet he's somewhere making pasta!
See mountain
Wow so much wasteland out there. If not for the dam, this place would not be!
That's a dam good observation!
Maybe to you but its damn good dirt bike country.
Would not be what? 😁
